Glendora Clock Tower Telecom Installation

Glendora, Gloucester Township, Camden County, NJ

Contracted to design a telecommunications installation at the Glendora Fire Company in a residential section of Gloucester Township. In order to meet the requirements of the carrier, landlord, and Township, a functioning clock tower was proposed to house telecommunications antennas instead of a more common tower installation. The clock tower consists of steel and fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) members. Unlike concrete and steel, FRP does not hinder the transmission of radio frequency waves. This allowed the carrier to construct a telecommunications site in a residential area that looks like an extension of the existing fire station and avoids a negative visual impact on the surrounding community.
